Meet Uncle skeeter
Ellis Williams aka "Uncle Skeeter"
Growing up in Brunswick, Georgia, a small southern town where wisdom flowed as freely as sweet tea on a summer day, Ellis E. Williams learned that the most powerful lessons often came wrapped in simple sayings.
You know the ones – those pearls of wisdom your Grandma, Paw Paw, aunties, and uncles would drop that left you scratching your head, wondering “what does that even mean?” But if you were brave enough to ask, you discovered these weren’t just words – they were life lessons passed down through generations, carrying the strength and insight of our ancestors.
Today, as “Uncle Skeeter,” Ellis believes it’s time to collectively remind ourselves of these invaluable teachings. In a world that moves faster than ever, these timeless sayings from Black culture offer grounding, guidance, and the kind of wisdom that never goes out of style.
